Should we unaffiliate with them?

And unaffiliating with our last affiliate, Starstream.
We already lost Mythios since it was deleted, Gamezsplash since it appeared to have been hijacked and led to a virus site, and now I´m wondering about this one.
My reasoning is this
- I am no longer friends with the creator, I don´t interact with that forum and she no longer interacts with mine
- There is no legitimate activity there, last legitimate activity was January 21st, 2015
- A spammer has made it their home and no one has done anything, the spammer keeps logging in to post spam links on Starstream (apparent from "latest topics"), and I don´t want my forum associated with an abandoned and spam filled one.
Thoughts?

in terms of safety, I'd rather say "yes". but you shouldn't forget the fact that that's the opinion of someone who doesn't really know what's this all about... didn't even know we were affiliated... so, yeah >.>

The general vote is "yes" from everyone I talked to about it.
The reason a lot don´t know is because it happened back in 2011.
Sadly all I am doing is removing their link from the site to prevent our users from going there, but they still have us on their forum page and I guess I will have to monitor for spambots joining.
If there´s ever legitimate activity on their forum again I will ask them to remove us from their affiliates.
